My Nonprofit Reviews

Shared Beat is an amazing organization, providing health exams, follow-up care, vision screenings, dental exams, vitamins and parasite medicine to over 1500 children living in the Guatemala City dump area and 6 rural schools. Shared Beat supports a health clinic in the Safe Passage School along with a preventive health program in the San Martin area that monitors the health of the children in the area and offers health education to teachers and parents. Additionally, Shared Beat provides health career scholarships to those interested in professions such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, psychology, physical therapy, nutrition and social work. In 2025, Shared Beat will be supporting 20 deserving students as they pursue their dreams.

As a member of the Shared Beat Board, I have witnessed first hand the incredible work this organization does. Shared Beat works with schools in Guatemala City and rural Guatemala to promote the health of the students, making sure they receive Wellness exams, eye and hearing tests, glasses, emergency medical care and health education. Along with this the organization supports 9 young women and 1 young man with health career scholarships (4 of which are in medical school). Shared Beat does this with the goal of creating sustainable programs and a healthy Guatemala. This is all done collaboratively and ethically. Shared Beat is an outstanding organization!

Shared Beat is a remarkable non-profit. Founders of the organization saw an unmet need and developed this remarkable program with intelligence and heart. The programs Shared Beat have instituted in the poorest section of Guatemala City have changed lives. The future of hundreds of children is brighter because Shared Beat is attending to their health, building a better foundation for a life of hope and promise.

Shared Beat provides medical care and health education to the poorest of the poor in Guatemala with compassion and respect. Working with Shared Beat was witnessing love in action. Every action taken by the group demonstrates a deep committment to better the well-being of the people they serve. Shared Beat is empowering the community. One of the ways they do this is by providing nursing scholarships to women in the community. Once these ladies complete their education they come back home to provide care for their neighbors. I have been extremely impressed with Shared Beat's dedication to their mission and resolve to improve the lives of others. It's an incredible organization!
